About 170 hrs. total so far this year, of which 150 hrs P1. (I did my IMCR).

August and July were rubbish, but May, June, September and October were great. So far this year, amongst the usual bacon buttie and Duxford trips, I've made it to La rochelle, Berlin Templehof, Reus in Spain, Avignon, Carcassonne, Poitiers and Lyons.

As it happens, its been a good 3 years - I passed my PPL in Nov 04 and have racked up 500hrs since then.

Partly because I always wanted to, and partly because, when you own an a/c by yourself, it costs more or less the same to maintain whether it flys or not (bar the cost of the fuel - and if you fly abroad, you get the fuel drawback).
